ONE IN A MILLION! 💖 Rose Wissgott, 93, and her husband Rudy, 95, have celebrated their platinum wedding anniversary - a milestone reached by only about one in a million couples!
The couple married in Barton Church in 1949. They have two children, Monica and Karl, and have lived in the village for over 50 years. Rudy worked for ICI until he retired 37 years ago. They both loved dancing until they were past 90! Rudy still grows vegetables and flowers and tends his greenhouse. The couple have 4 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
On their golden wedding, they requested money for St Luke's Hospice instead of gifts and on their diamond anniversary they donated money to the burns unit of a hospital where one of their great grandchildren had been treated. "On each anniversary they have always given money to a worthy cause," said their daughter Monica. "They say they have everything they need."
Congratulations and a warm salute to this beautiful and enduring couple!
